  • @randomsword10
    @randomsword10 3 роки тому +103

    I may be looking WAY too into this, but I find it interesting that this animatic uses much fuzzier lines, with outlines sort of wavering even in still shots. It's a noticable style change compared to the animatics of Balance, and it makes me consider the parallel between D&D and MotW. D&D has much more rigid and defined rules, leading to clear, solid outlines, while MotW is much more relaxed and light on rules, fitting well with the wavering outlines.

    God the opening few notes are the exact same as when Ned dies. Seeing "TAZ Amnesty" and anything referring to a ghost, then hearing those notes, it immediately threw me for a loop. I was expecting an animatic of the scenes of Ned's death set to the music Griffin used. I was NOT expecting a full life recap. Such a good animatic.

  • @herosparkyferrum
    @herosparkyferrum 3 роки тому +187

    OH MY GOD WOW. Wow simply wow, I never get tired of looking at your creations, the shapes you use for characters are phenomenal, not to mention the incredibly well-integrated way you make characters move to the music (example, 1:51 , LIKE WOW those smooth movements to the beats of the lyrics are pure mesmerizing)
    It’s been so long since I’ve listened to Amnesty, but throughout watching this entire video all of those memories of every scene of Ned’s story came flooding back to me. You captured each moment of his life so beyond perfectly, and the pacing was so beautiful, and the WAY IT STARTED WITH HIM LAYING IN THE GRASS STARING UP AT THE STARS AND ENDED THE EXACT SAME WAY HAD ME IN TEARS. your work is literally so beyond inspiring, again the smoothness and fluidity of the movements you give characters are so impressive, you inspire me so much to improve upon my own creative skills and reach a level reminiscent of this. Thank you so much for making and sharing this literally it was the highlight of my night, your ability to so perfectly tell this story through your art and animation is so incredible. All my love omg thank you

This felt like I connected to the story for the first time. The transitions are incredible, the rough style goes perfectly with the song, the slow creeping use of solid colours growing from light to dark that ends on the red... then black... fucking gorgeous.
